The next major renovation job, you sleep in a trailer in the driveway.

If you want to sleep on someone's sofa like it was when Airbnb started,  it's still cheaper than a hotel, LOL. 

I can host and record podcasts in my sleep and crush.

The primary motivators in retaining it and dipping our toes into the rental space are: 2.50% APR and sufficient margin to cover maintenance/capex/vacancy based on "recommended percentages of gross rent."

Since it’s essentially a change in the holding entity, not a sale, a quitclaim should be sufficient.

I did STR in a duplex starting back in 2017 and managed for others in North Conway, Ive since converted to all long term tenants and happy i did so... unless your property has something unique or a "rare" amenity.... like, sleeps 30, I honestly would not waste any energy on it in the north Conway area. so saturated, and so much big money being invested in the hotels, its tough to match amenities vs cost, and I see travelers trending back towards the hotel style accommodations. granted, for the right price, I'd buy anything and figure out what the best use for it is. use airdna.co for decent data on # of Short term rentals in any particular market. can also identify opportunities. the point of my response.... be careful in STR in any area and always have a plan B. you can change a lot of things about a property, but your cant change your basis!

We sure have and are now doing a deal for this investor where they keep 100% of the profits.Folks that do their best, will make mistakes (Honest mistakes for those that work with integrity).We have been thrown under the bus quite a few times on this forum like many others but I sleep peacefully because I know we don't steal, cheat or lie and always do our best for everyone.Many times things work out well and other times they don't.Such is real estate and such is life.I don't think one can be blamed for doing their best.Upwards and onwards and wishing you all the best

Better area's out there to invest and sleep easier at night

This should be sufficient to exclude the $2600 termination fee from your DTI, as it confirms the lease obligation is ending.Best regards,Drago

It is the former because people want it now. the problem started when people is buying without thinking of the risk.most people only want to buy the income stream from rentonomics.the problem with basic investors are they do not understand when we invest to equity or even debt is that we are buying the spread actually.in cheap money financial regime, with interest rate of 1% and cap rate of 7% we have positive 6% spread which I feel the risk/reward is sufficient to proper for any rentonomics to run.but we're in expensive money regime now with interest rate of 5% and cap rate of 3-4% (depending on class) so we have negative spread of 1% where it's guaranteed investor would lose money. there's also issue with supply especially in sunbelt.i meant it's not the fault of GP but it is the fault of LP mosty because they do not understand all these risk.when interest rate is high like these, obvious choice is to move from equity investment into debt investment (conservatively of course). when cash could generate s much as money as when we work, obviously we can also try to add more allocation to cash position rather than equity investment.And all of these are actually predictable, when Fed prints gazzilion tons of money during covid, the problem in 2024 is expected to happen.What?
